Most classrooms at IU South Bend are permanently equipped with a full array of AV equipment and an overhead projector. If you're scheduled in a room that doesn't contain the equipment you need, Media Services will deliver equipment to your class.

To reserve equipment, please send an email at least 48 hours in advance of the scheduled class time to imsreq@iusb.edu. Request made with less than 48 hours notice will be honored if staffing and equipment availability permits. An e-mail confirmation will be sent when your order is approved and placed on the delivery schedule. The equipment will be delivered directly to your class or meeting room by one of our technicians. (Students may use the equipment, but faculty must place the request)

Equipment available for classroom delivery includes:

• PC
• Video/data projector
• TV/VCR/DVD
• VHS camcorder
• 35mm slide projector
• Portable voice amplifier
• 16mm projector

IMS maintains a small pool of AV and media production equipment for use by faculty, students, and staff.

Note: Equipment with a 24 hour maximum may be checked out on Friday, provided that it is returned by 9:00AM on Monday.

• Equipment is due back within 24 hours. Renewals must be requested in person.
• A late fee of $25 per day up to $200, will be charged for late returns.
• A replacement fee equal to the cost of new equipment will be charged for any equipment not returned, or returned with missing parts.
• First come, first serve.
• Equipment must be picked up in the IMS office in Northside Hall, room 075.
• Checkout and return hours are 8-5 M-F.
• Equipment may be returned to the Schurz Library during library hours.
• Equipment will be loaned only to those students whose name appears on the approved list. To appear on the approved list:
  
  
  1. Your instructor must submit to imsreq@iusb.edu.a list of students that have been assigned graded project work that includes audio, video, or photographic elements.
  OR
  2. An official university organization sponsor (generally the Director of Student Life) must submit to imsreq@iusb.edu a list of students who are working on sponsored, school-related activities.
  
  
• Usage limit: 4 checkouts per semester. Each checkout can be renewed for 1 additional checkout period (for a total of 2 consecutive check-out blocks) IF the equipment is available, and if the request is made within the original 24 hour checkout period.
• A brief tutorial is required before your first checkout.
• Students must provide their own media (for example, mini-DV tapes).

You are responsible for the safe return of all items loaned. If you fail to return an item, or if the item is returned late or damaged, you will be charged a replacement fee up to $1600. (See table)

• Payment of all fines must be received before additional checkouts will be provided.
• All fees must be resolved by the end of each semester to avoid grade and registration holds.

Any activity that requires IU South Bend resources and is not directly related to a scheduled, for-credit course is considered an event. Audiovisual support of events is scheduled through Maureen Muldoon according to the AV Guidelines for Events.

Media Services designs and installs and maintains permanent AV technology on the IU South Bend campus other than the technology installed in classrooms. Classroom technology is installed and maintained by Classroom Technology Support.

NOTE: For production or reproduction of traditional audiovisual media, such as overhead transparencies, matting or mounting of graphics, or photography for ceremonies, pubic-relations, athletics, and so on. Consult the Educational Resource Commons for assistance.
